Default cant stop going sideways!!!

Is anybody else the same?????....every time i drive my saff i just cant help myself from giving it large and going sideways everywhere
Its becoming a nasty habit now and im worried im gonna get seen by the cops and get nicked sooner or later. Its almost like an addiction but i just love the feeling of going sideways and hearing the exhaust pop and bang on the limiter.....its the fookin daddy..

Shame cossies naturally understeer when not on the power, as when you learn to do it without the aid of a boost full of throttle its even more addictive and fun, trust me, youl be doing it 24/7, right up until you crash

im thinking about changing both tca's rod ends and rack soon coz my steering is feeling quite vague at the moment,also quite heavy and i know the guy who had it before me kerbed it whilst drifting round a roundabout so im thinking matbe something damaged somewhere. I might be wrong,the car does drive very straight but its just the vagueness i dont like. Gets a bit unnerving at 130mph.

yeah love it in mine, Im going to sort my new car to behave better sideways... and you will eventually get pulled for doing it if your on the street often enough. Just do it in a suitable place and time to keep the plod out your hair that bit longer, or circuit/drift day if you really cant kurb your addiction
